Seattle artist recalls childhood visit with Einstein
Pierce Milholland recalls meeting Albert Einstein in 1943 at 117 Mercer Street Seattle when he was an 8 year old boy on a newspaper drive for Allied support in World War II. He describes the Einstein home, their basement search for papers, and the scientist’s friendly candy gift without attending neighborhood gatherings. Now 64, Milholland is a Capitol Hill painter reflecting on the quiet genius across the street and Einsteins Princeton legacy.
